The video, obtained by The Sun newspaper in England, filmed from the pitchside shows the helicopter taking off at the King Power Stadium after Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League draw between Leicester and West Ham United. It is seen rising into the sky before appearing to go into a tailspin and rapidly losing altitude.

The cause of the accident is being investigated and theories include the helicopter hitting a drone and bird strike. The video has been handed to investigators.
